About Me

A sailor in this rough sea called life, who is rowing with all the strength given to him by the lighthouse called GOD. He is one of GOD's blessed child and he does not deserve to be this happy in life. His way of thanking GOD is to make others happy and if he can bring a smile on his reader's face, he treats that as victory.

I was actually listening to the songs of "அழகிய தமிழ் மகன்" while going in one of my friends car, and we were listening to "மதுரைக்கு போகாதடி அந்த மல்லிபூ கண்ண வைக்கும்" song. This song really facinated the "pithukuli" inside me and i just modified it to the industry where i work, just read this along with the tune and let me know how you like it. Just post a comment here.

The one and only "Gentlemen" of Australian cricket will never be seen in action again on field, we will surely miss that great guys game forever. His announcement of retirement came as a real shocker to the cricketing fretenity as none of us expected that to come this soon. I dont think we can ever see such a terrific wicket-keeper batsmen in this era and its a sheer shame that our "Milkman" dhoni is called as "India's" Gilchrist.

Apart from his cricketing skills the world also knows his sportsmen sprit, he is one of the very very few players in international cricket who never waits for umpire's decision if he feels he is out and also if an opponent player scores a century or reaches a milestone, he will be the first player to congratulate him during the game itself. We saw that quite recently when Gilli went to Kumble and congratulated him for his 600 wickets in test cricket. Gilchrist has always been a sensational player, let it be his wicket-keeping or batting, he always brings in some amount of excitement to the viewers.

In a brief press conference after his retirement, Gilli said "It is with great pride and happiness that I make the decision to retire from Test and one-day cricket," "I've come to this decision after much thought and discussion with those most important to me. "My family and I have been fortunate to have had an amazing journey full of rich experiences throughout my career and are sincerely grateful to all who have helped make this stage of our lives so fulfilling."

Record-breaking Australia wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist unexpectedly announced that he will retire from international cricket, ending a remarkable career.The popular 36-year-old told his teammates before the third day's play in the fourth Test against India, and his retirement, effective at the end of the upcoming triangular one-day series, was announced at the end of play. Gilchrist said he was looking forward to spending more time with his wife, Mel, and children Harrison, Annie and Archie.

Gilchrist departs the game as one of its greatest ever players after revolutionising the role of wicketkeeper-batsmen. A veteran of 96 Tests since debuting in 1999 against Pakistan in Brisbane, his 414 dismissals (377 catches, 37 stumpings) is a world record.

He went into his final Test averaging 47.89 with the bat, with 5,556 runs, 17 centuries and a top score of 204 not out. Gilchrist scored the second-fastest century in Test cricket history (57 balls).He also captained Australia in six Tests for four wins, including in the historic away series win over India in 2004.

Gilchrist made his one-day international debut in 1996 and has played 277 limited overs internationals, mainly as an opener, for 9297 runs at 36.03 with a strikerate of 96, 15 centuries and a highest score of 172, as well as 454 dismissals. He played in three World Cup triumphs, including belting an extraordinary 149 from 104 balls in last year's World Cup final against INDIA.

I wish this great person a very happy and a successful future ahead of him. I salute this great player and he will turly be my best wicket-keeper batsmen forever. Good Luck Gilli and thanks a ton for entertaining the entire world.

Let me start by saying that I am not a follower or a supporter of Ms. Menaka Gandhi

I really don’t understand why people wish to have a PET at their home ? Do they think that they are some sort of “Entertainment” to them ?, For all those who have the idea of owning a PET just for the heck of it, please, please, please don’t have a PET. They are also a living thing in this world that do have equal amount of feelings, attachment, expectation, anger, love and affection as we all humans have. I just can’t stand people who own pets and treat them like a piece of shit.PETS are no symbol for social status.

I live in an apartment and a not to be named neighbour has a cute little labrador dog, and if one day my nerves break, I bet you, that neighbour will not be in this world. He treats that creature as a non-living thing. He always makes him sleep outside his house, whether it be a chilling cold or a furious rain, that poor creature will have to accept and agree. He will be served ONLY with what was left over a day before and that too not filling for his stomach. If I try to give something to that cute little one, he shouts as if I will give him a poison. I too know how to give him something when that idiot is not around, and I do that. He has never been taken around for a walk and he is made to pee whereever he wants to and if by mistake it pee’s in the corridor, he gets severe beatings and sometime he is beaten with bamboo sticks too. You can clearly see a river of tear mark running below his cheeks, and his eyes will always be watery, poor guy certainly deserves a better life, for him its really a “Dog’s life” out there. I wish I could have been his master.

I wonder whether that guy is a human in the first place, he himself looks like a dracula and how can we expect a dracula to be kind to a DOG ?. I am planning to take this very seriously and I will be reporting to Blue Cross about this very soon and make sure that guy is behind bar’s atleast for a week, for people who wonder why I am so against that guy is, he is also a K*******A. I hate them you see. Dialing BLUE CROSS now …

1. Why new born babies should not see the mirror for 1 year ?2. Why should we avoid onions or garlic on a no-moon day ?3. What superstition does cat have when it crosses the road ?4. What is so great if we wake up on a fox face ?5. Why do we expect a crow to come and eat the food on a ceremony day ? Why not other birds ?6. Why does lizard alone has a "palan" factor when it falls on us ? why not "yeli" or "cockroach" ?7. Why are pregnent ladies not allowed to see an eclipse ?8. Why do we squeeze lemons under our vehicle tyres ? Why not a water melon or a Jackfruit ?9. Why do people refuse to buy vehicle's which has hit a PIG ?

And why the hell i need to strain myself like this when i am feeling sleepy ? :-)

Hip Hip Hurraaayyyy!!! It was a cake walk for my beauty doll Sharapova at the Australian Open 2008 finals to clinch her 3rd grand slam of her career. It was all Mariya from the word go, though her serbian opponent tried to give her a tough fight in the first set but just gave up in the second and the final score read 7-5, 6-3 and i just enjoyed the "cup kiss" by Maria on my big LCD TV, hmmm, i wish i would have been that cup ;-)). Its not that easy to maintain high standards in modelling, social welfare and also sports, but this cute glam girl does all that with ease. I would have just given up watching tennis after the retirement of my dream gal of yester years "Steffi Graf" if at all Maria wouldn't have entered the circuit, beauty and tennis are made for each other it seems ... well, i am gonna enjoy it as long as it continues.

This beautiful parrot was living in a thick dense green forest where it had no issues for food or shelter, life was going peacefully for that little one and days just rolled on. It had a beautiful nest on one of the tree top and lived all alone in that. One fine day the parrot went out for hunting food, he saw his fellow parrots vacating their nests and leaving somewhere, he switched to his inquisitive mode and asked them where they are going, one of his fellow parrot told him that there is another mountain nearby which is much greener and peaceful than this, also they will be getting unlimited food all around the year and hence they are leaving there. This rather sounded excellent for our parrot and hence decided to follow suite. He too rushed to his nest and gathered all the necessary stuffs that he need to carry and decided to join them, but unfortunately it became too dark and by then all his fellow mates flew away. He was left all alone in that wonderful forest and this lonliness really killed him, daily he used to enquire about that new mountain to other birds, but none showed any sign of knowing about it.

Days became months and months became years, his fellow parrots never returned to this mountain. One day he happened to meet a Vulture and that Vulture told this parrot that he is coming from a far away distance and hence requested this parrot to allow him to stay in his nest overnight, parrot happily permitted him to stay with him overnight and during their dinner, this parrot asked him about that new mountain and told him that all his fellow parrots have gone there long back and he too would like to join them, initially the Vulture gave him a puzzled look and asked him, Why does he want to leave this wonderful place, without any hesitation the parrot told him that he heard the new mountain is much more greener and peaceful and hence he would want to live there. The Vulture told him that he will be flying via that mountain tomorrow morning and hence he can follow him, this parrot was extremely happy to hear that and was awake all the night with his things packed and was all set to leave his nest. They both started early in the morning and the Vulture took him to that new mountain and said a big thankyou for allowing him to stay overnight at his nest, this parrot inturn thanked him for showing him the way to this new mountain. Vulture wished him "Best of Luck" and flew away.

With extreme joy and happiness this parrot went in search for his friends, after flying for more than 6 hours he felt very tired and then looked for a suitable tree to construct his nest, night dawned in that dense forest and the parrot was fast asleep due to tiredness. The parrot thought that he will surely meet his friends the next morning and decided to sing his favourite tune so that his fellow parrots can hear and reach him, so he started singing "koo kooooo kooo kooooooo" and within a flash there came a speeding arrow and shot him on his head and he fell down un-consious. When he got up he was surprised to see that he was sorrounded by all his fellow parrots, Yipppeeee!!! he jumped in joy and asked his friends how he came here ?, one of his friend said in a feeble voice that they have been captured by a hunter and soon they all will be killed, this news landed as a thunder in our parrot's heart and cursed himself for his desire. He could not digest the fact that he cannot go to his good old nest anymore. One fine day our parrot was laid to rest by that hunter and during his dying moments he visualized his good old days in that old mountain where he lived happily without any issues and atlast closed his eyes forever.

This story is applicable to all of us who think that what they have on hand is the worst than what our friends have, it may be our job, our salary, our status, our location, our car, our dress etc. etc. never ever think that the other side of the park is always green. Its always easy to get carried away by things we hear, but every good thing in this world has a defect and its upto us to decide whether we are having a happier life or a pathetic one. It all depends on our mindset and not on the environment. I just read a wonderful quote in an email forward, it read "Life gives Answers in 3 ways, It says "YES" and gives whatever you want, It says "NO" and gives you something Better, It says "WAIT" and gives you the Best ..." i would like to carve this hard into my heart and feel happy with what GOD has given me today, and i am ready to WAIT ....

Kavya decided to leave Varun for good and does not want to be with him, she told herself that she has had enough of him and its time to bid adieu to this painful relationship. Kavya is a software engineer at a leading MNC in the city and Varun too is a software guy, initially things appeared to be rosy to both of them, their first meeting is still afresh in Kavya's mind, she met him at a browsing center and of course its not "Love at first sight". Days went on and coincidently they both happened to meet at the same browsing center and later on they went to the browsing center just to meet each other, one fine day Varun broke the scilence and proposed to Kavya, though Kavya liked Varun, she made him wait for a month and then acknowledged his request, typical girl's mentality. Varun is a telugu guy and Kavya is a tamilian, both had their own butterflies flying inside their tummie's with respect to disclosing their affair to their parents, but somehow things went fine and they both got a nod for their marriage from both sides, that day was infact the (only) good day they had in their relationship.

Marriage date was announced and everything went fine as per their plan and both felt they were blessed, but little they know at that time, that they were blessed to be cursed. Varun was no different from a normal guy, he showered all his love and affection on Kavya for a month and later started to behave weired. Kavya too noticed this change but did not take it seriously untill the day that incident happened. Kavya came from office a bit too early than the usual and to her surprise Varun was at home even before her, but its not only Varun at home, but also his project mate Anamika. Kavya did not care much of her visit and hence headed towards the kitchen to prepare night's dinner. Varun not knowing that Kavya has already arrived had a little bit of "fun" with Anamika, it was all giggles and no-no's from Anamika and for a moment she ran out of their bedroom and Varun was chasing her to the hall and all these, in front of Kavya. Both of them were shocked to see Kavya at home at that time and did not know how to react. Varun then asked Anamika to go and for the rest of the day it was total scilence at home.

Next day morning Kavya seemed to be very relaxed and looked as if she had forgotten what had happened yesterday. Varun said that he has to go to office to finish some un-finished task, Varun talking about office work on a sunday puzzled Kavya but she did not say anything. It was around 1:00 AM in the morning, Varun came home fully drunk, which was infact a rude shock to Kavya, he was not able to stand in a position and was wavering to gain balance, Kavya took him to his bedroom and made him to sleep. Next day morning Varun went to work without even informing to Kavya. She just could not stand his behaviour and hence emailed him saying that she needs to talk to him personally and hence asked him to come to a nearby restaurant at around 5:00 in the evening. Kavya went there well in advance and all she did was waited there for 2 hours and Varun did not come, her repeated calls to his mobile were un-answered, tear balls popped out of her eyes and had a glance at her face. Varun's sudden change and his behaviour confused Kavya and all she was asking herself is "What mistake i did ?".

It has now been months since both of them exchanged any conversation and one fine day Kavya told Varun that she needs to go all alone and does not want to continue this relationship, Varun on the other hand reacted as if he expected this from Kavya and immediately accepted to her offer, this reaction almost killed Kavya and her heart was wanting to ask Varun "Why ???", but her ego slapped her not to do so. Both of them met a leading advocate in the city and applied for a divorce, and the first question the advocate asked them was "Why ?" both of them did not have an answer. Later advocate asked Varun to wait outside and spoke to Kavya to understand the reason for divorce, Kavya burst into tears and told the advocate of what all happened and she too does not know why Varun is behaving like this, she made sure that she informed about Anamika to the advocate and told him that she has no issues in Varun marrying her. Its now the turn of Varun, and Kavya was asked to wait outside.

Before even the adovcate started to ask him for a reason, Varun broke out in tears saying he acted as of he is hating Kavya, just because for the reason, Kavya should accept her long term onsite opportunity at her office, she being a career oriented female, rejected that offer just because she has to leave Varun and go, so he has no other option other than acting weired and hence make her accept that offer which will really boost her carreer, there came Kavya running towards Varun and gave him a tigh hug and it was all emotional for a while.

So the theory of divorce rates shooting up between software couples may not necessirily be ture in all cases.

Can i just say that these people are educated fools ?? I dont wanna take names here, but there are people in this so called "Educated" software industry who lack very basic ettiquttes of decency. I am sure you guys can easily see one such character in your work place by reading on the below mentioned points ...

1. If somebody gets a new mobile to office, that "gentlemen" would first grab it and view the "Address Book" and start asking "Who is this Meera ? That infy girl ah ?", "Hey who is this senthil da ?, the one who dropped you in his bike last week ?". He expects a detailed explanation of all such names along with their Star and Horoscope. Appadi solaati avangaluku mandayae vedichudum ... "Sindhu Bairavi" la vara Janakaraj maadhiri.

3. If a colleague logs into his / her personal mail account, that "gentlemen" would make sure that he stands next to him and happily read his / her email along with them. If by any chance we do an "ALT + TAB" and change to a different screen, he will turn for a while and moment we turn back to our email account, that "gentlemen" will be back to his business (of reading others email). At times you know what will happen ?, when you are reading your personal email, you will hear a voice saying "heyyy ... iru irru irru, konjam mela scroll pannu, andha second para ku .... "ungala paarkaama irrukaradhu .....", namba personal email la ... ivaru unnipaa padichu paarkaraaraam, rascal.

4. From a common despatch room, that "gentlemen" will promptly bring his colleague's credit card statement and will insist his colleague to open it then and there and starts questioning him or her on their expense, apart from the detailed credit card statement, we need to give an even more detailed explanation of that expense to that "gentlemen". Enna mo ivaru thaan maasaa maasam namba billa kataraa maadhiri romba akkarayaa feelings kaatuvaaru, mudichowki.

5. When going as a gang to a cafeteria or a food court, voluntarily that "gentlemen" will accompany you and will refuse to order anything for himself, but when you order something for you, before you start eating it, that "gentlemen" would have happlily finished 50% of your dish and will say "enakku pasiyae illa pa, chumaa nee vandhiyae nu company kuduka vandhaen", adhaavadhu ivaru uthamaraam, namakku nalladhu pannarathukaaga thaan vandhaaraam, naadhaarrriiiii.

6. You have to notice them when they are amidst of (sumaar looking) girls. All he will talk is only about foreign countries, "you know what, when i was in south africa ...", "ya ya ya ya ... even in canada its like that", "no no no no, US does not follow that, they are quite different" naara paya, munna pinna flightae close-up la paarthuruka maataan, aanaalum appadi oru peter viduvaan andha attu figures kitta.

7. The biggest comedy will be in the rest room's, this "gentlemen" will never wash his hands after emptying his bladder. When he washes his face in the wash basin, he will simultaneously wash the arm's and shoulders of the next standing guy, avalo force aa water eduthu splash panni paaru avar face la. When is gargles water in his mouth, its always a safe to avoid washing in the next adjecent washbasin, because he will gargle and spit that water in his standing position, he will not bend to spit that water, that "holy" water will be splashed in the face of the adjecent guy who will bend and gargle his mouth.

So were you able to visualize such a character in your office ?? I am sure you will .... GOD save all of us from such crazy nuts ... Iyyooo Iyyooo

I went to one of my friends house last week, he is having a 1 and half year old baby boy, who looks so cute and chubby, and no one can just resist to squeeze his chubby cheeks at the first sight. I know my friends family for a long time and after a gap of more than a year i am going to their house. This little boy was first puzzled to see this mirror-cracking material and since that was a saturday i did not have my shave too, and he would have started comparing me with all the animals he saw at the zoo and looked at me as if he did not see this kind of a monkey there. I had got him a remote control car and called him near me and then gave him that and after that moment he got very close to this "monkey", i just thought that bribery bug bits a man very early in his life.

I was casually discussing with my friend for a while and later started this pathetic hungama, that poor kid was asked to do what all he knows in front of me, i really dont understand why these parents behave so weired, what are they going to gain out of all these advertisements ? we all know that kids are smart and loveble, but they should also understand the feelings of that kid na, you should have seen that little one face, he was almost in tears at the end of his last trick. As usually the "pithukuli" inside me came out and here spells his imagination, if a Baby talks ....

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.

Boys leave their schedule wide-open and wait for a girl to call and make plans.Grown-up Man make their own plans and nicely tell the girl to get in where she fits in.

Boys want to control the girl in their life.Grown-up Man know that if she's truly his, she doesn't need controlling.

Boys check you for not calling them.Grown-up Man are too busy to realize you hadn't.

Boys are afraid to be alone.Grown-up Man revel in it-- using it as a time for personal growth.

Boys ignore the good girls.Grown-up Man ignore the bad girls.

Boys make you come.Grown-up Man make you come home.

Boys worry about not being pretty and/or good enough for their girl.Grown-up Man know that they are pretty and/or good enough for any girl.

Boys try to monopolize all their girl's time (i.e, don't want him hanging with her friends).Grown-up Man realize that a lil' bit of space makes the ''together time even more special -- and goes to kick it with his own friends!

Boys think a crying girl is weak.Grown-up Man offer their shoulder and a tissue.

Boys get hurt by one girl and make all girls pay for it.Grown-up Man know that that was just one girl.

Boys fall in love,chase aimlessly after the object of their affection, ignoring all signs'.Grown-up Man know that sometimes the one you love, don't always love you back-- and move on, without bitterness.

This is something i read in a book as an article and I freaking LOVED it!! It's soooo true too!! I too will admit it though currently am between the Boy and Grown-up Man.

Hip Hip Hurrrraaayyyy!!! What a comeback by our Indian Lions. This test match was in the favor of the Aussies even before the start of the match for the reason that WACA pitch offers terrible pace and bounce and hence indian batsmen cannot face the fierceful aussie attack, but what had happened was different story alltogether. Indian started their first innings with a positive note and went on to pile a good score of 330 runs and to the surprise of any Indian cricket fan, they bundled the aussies for a mediocre 212, but i personally feel that India did not capitalize on their lead and set aussies 413 as their target. Aussies too had a turbulent start at the second innings but they had some good partnerships in the middle which really made the game interesting. Their 10th wicket stand of 72 runs were nightmarish to Indian bowlers and it look a long time for them to break that. Atlast Indians won by a margin of 86 runs.

This victory is one of India's best win overseas and this would have certainly boosted the confidence in the Indian camp just ahead of the final encounter at Adelaid. It would be great to see India levelling the series at Adelaid. Good job you MIB, keep up the momentum and go for the kill in the next match.

Well, me back to bloging ways after a good break of more than a week. Pongal is over and now guessing what could be the next festival where i can take a long break and go to chennai, it looks like Tamil New Year is the next festival which falls on a long weekend. Its always fun to spend pongal on the land where its celebrated at its best, yes i was at Chennai and enjoyed every bit of that function, actually when i first came to Bangalore I went to one of the sagar restaurants and ordered for a pongal, then to the rudest shock of my life, the bearer gave me a "Pongoozh" ya it was terribly watery, he should have given that to me in a tumbler, but gave me in a plate, adhuvm naaiku vekkara plate madhiriyae irrundhudhu, for a moment i felt as if a small tail is developing on my back, the other ingredients in that "Pongoozh" were onion, coconut slices, ular dhal (ulutham parupu) and a big long red chilli, i think whatever that is going waste in that hotel will be mixed with pongal it seems, anyways no comments on KARNATAKA food, its something which human's can't eat.

I was one person who strongly prayed that SC should not give a go ahead for that "Jhallikattu" but unfortunately they have given a go ahead and i heard that under camera survilience they should conduct that bull catching, but what SC failed to understand is, bulls does not know that there is a camera and they should not muttify anybody, andha bulls enna cinima la yaa nadikudhu, ippadi thaan loosu maadhiri eadhaavadhu judgement kuduthuduvaanga. I was actually discussing on the same with my colleagues at office, SC had given a go ahead for the jhallikattu and all the villagers were happy and all well built, masculine youngsters were waiting in front of the "Vaadi Vaasal" and waiting for that to open, and once it was opened there came running 10 to 15 hungry LIONS targeting those well-built, masculine youngsters, then anga irrukara perisu onnu mic pudichu solludhaam "SC Jhallikattu nadathalaam nu utharavu kuduthuduchu, aanaa by mistake animal pera thappa LION nu adichutaanga, engala enna panna sollareenga?" nu, we all had a good laugh at this funny imagination.

I am sure everyone would have known by now, yes our one and only SUPERSTAR Mr. Rajinikanth has been chosen as the NDTV Best Entertainer of the year by a poll conducted by NDTV. The votes were casted by NDTV viewers all across the country. This award was given yesterday at ceremony held at New Delhi and our hero was there with his usual costume of a neat white kurtha and a face full of white beard, i was so fortunate to watch this program live yesterday and here i narrate what has happened during the felicitation.

The nominees for this award was announced namely Sharukh Khan, Shilpa Shetty, Rajinikanth, Himesh Reshmiya and Karan Johar and our honorable Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh was asked to unveil the winner, and as everyone expected the award went to our Super hero Mr. Rajinikanth. There are some points to be noted in this, prior to giving this award the previous awards were distributed by chota politicians like Mani Shanker Iyer, P Chidambaram etc etc, but for giving award to our Superstar our PM was asked to do, and next thing is, before this award, when the winner was announced and he or she could come up and stage and collect the award, there was only a big round of applause being given, but when our Superstar's name was announced and while he walked to the podium to recieve that award, the entire auditorium gave him a standing ovation, even the people who were sitting on the dias stood up and then gave our hero the due respect.

Rajinikanth was questioned by the host of what is the secret of his succuss ? Rajini gave his usual smile as a reply, later he was questioned by Sharukh Khan and Karan Johar, happiness was quite evident on their faces in just seeing this demi GOD of Indian Cinema, Sharukh quoted saying that "Its a great honour and a pleasure to have him here and its been an exciting experience for him to see Rajini live" he also added that he did not knew that Rajini would be here and if he would have known that before, he would have brought his son to this function, as he is a great fan of Rajini and he has already watched his movie Shivaji for more than 50 times and started practicing his style.

Rajini was asked who he considers as the baadsha of Bollywood and the answer was instantenous by saying "Amitab Bachan" and there was a thunder of applause in the auditorium. Our P Chidambaram said that he always admires Rajini's simplicity inspite of his fame and popularity he has around the world.

Superstar is always a SUPERSTAR and he will always remain to be a king in all our hearts. Long live that great legend. Thanks for NDTV in organizing such a wonderful function.

We all know what had happened in the 2nd test match against australia, the umpires were taken to a ride and all the media wrote as if they are the only responsible people for all these mess, so here is a small imagination of what they will be talking after all these mess which happened around them

“hey dude … I know mistakes tend to happen like this in a match, so don worry, I did not take this seriously …” nu plate a ultaa pannitu poitaan maapla… andha naayi kittaerndhu thappichu vandhadhu perum paadaa pooduchu …

Jan 8, 2008

Probably this is one test match which has provided all kinds of reactions to any cricket fan, so many ups and downs ahhn!!. This match has proven enough to ICC that AUSTRALIANs are such a ruthless cricketing team in the world. Just because we are playing at their soil, they should'nt have humiliated the Indians like this. Starting from the controversy of poor umpiring to Bhaji's racial complaint, Indians were cheated in all departments. I surely agree that our boys played the game with a true sprit.

I just can't understand why ICC is refusing to use the technology to a greater extent ? Are they feeling that if technology is fully dependent, then the need for manual umpiring will go void ? Let it go man, surely thats gonna be for the improvement of the game. How can anyone in this earth can give Ganguly and Dravid as OUT, when the giant screen is replaying their dismissals 100s of time in the stadium ? Why was the player not being given a chance to comeback if its pretty evident that the player is not out ? Attimes this game proves to be an "Idiot's Game" as its popularly quoted in the US.

From when an opponent team's captain's verdict can be taken into consideration for dismissing a batsmen brought in as a rule ? Its autrocious from the umpire's perspective in referring to the opponent team's captain, instead of the 3rd umpire. Like how the players have a "Code of conduct" dont these umpires have one ?. With all these hungama happening around, we should truly appreciate the innings played by our captain Anil Kumble, what a knock, he continues to prove that he is THE man of determination when it comes to fighting it out till the last. Once again the hard fact of Indian tail ender's inability to stick to their wicket has been exposed very badly in this match. Its painful to see that an international player cannot even defend the ball in the middle of the wood. I hope our boys would have learnt umpty number of lessons out of this match.

The only consoling thing is, ICC has taken India's appeal very seriously and they have shown Mr. Bucknor the door and also they have lifted the ban on Bhaji. Its good to see such an united Indian team and it was fantastic to see the way they have suported Harbajan at the time of crisis.

I would suport INDIA for this loss just because of the fact that India we playing with just 11 players, but Australians were playing with 14 players (incl all the 3 umpire's). I wish our boys a good luck with their next two matches, and particularly the next one to be played in PERTH which has a demon under its pitch, which will throw the ball at a fierceful pace at the batsmen.

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful princess, her name was Sara. She had the power of beauty which will make anyone fall in love with her. A king by name Zeus came to know about Sara and her beauty and wanted to marry her, Zeus is equally beautiful and he was confident that Sara will agree to marry him, he headed towards Sara's country inorder to marry her. He reached Sara's empire in the mid-night and reached the palace, the body guard questioned his identity and later allowed him to meet the king. King Indus (Sara's father) asked Zeus of the purpose of his visit, he told him that he needs to marry Sara and told him that he wanted to meet her. The king then told Zeus that if he needs to marry Sara there are many hurdles that needs to be overcome and if he fails in any one of the challenges, off goes his head. Zeus agreed for the challenge and here starts the adventure ...

Zeus was first pushed into a dark room unknowing what kind of a danger that awaits him, all of a sudden he felt something was tightening his neck and before he could react it almost squeezed him to death, but out hero Zeus took his sword and then gave a mighty blow on the object which was tightening his neck and there died a big ANACONDA snake. King Indus was surprised to see that he had killed that snake. The next challenge was even more scary, Zeus was asked to walk on a rope from one end to another spanning a distance of more than 2 miles, but the danger is, left side of the rope had a huge river of FIRE and the right side of the rope had a huge pool of hungry corocodiles, Zeus was not given a stick to balance, after a hard struggle of more than 5 hours, Zeus managed to cross the ends. King Indus was extremely happy with his performance.

The next great challenge that was thrown to him was very dangerous than the above two, Zeus has to jump from a mountain top where he has to land on a series of swords and poisonous thorns, a slight miss in his angle or direction, the swords will tear him apart or he has to get pierced by those poisonous thorns, All Zeus had to do is to exactly land on a piller of a small diameter which can accomodate just his legs, Zeus made a calculated jump and landed exactly on the pillar. King Indus went speechless and was confident that he has the potential to overcome the last challenge.

King Indus, showed the photograph of Sara to Zeus and asked him to have a look at it, Zeus was thrilled to have a look at that photograph as he had come a long way to conquer that beauty, here comes the turning point of the story, what a rude shock will it be for king Indus, Yes!! our here Zeus died on the spot on looking at that photograph. Indus told to himself - "Naa appavae sonnaenae, oorla sollaradha elaam nambi, ponnu ketu varaadheenga nu, idhunaala thaanae da avalo kashtamaana test elaam vechu ungala kaapaatharathuku oru chance kuduthaen, paavi paya elaa test um paas pannitu, ippadi aniyaayamaa usura vittutaanae, hmm vidhi yaara vittudhu".

I am sure you folks will be eager to see what that photograph had, ok, please have a look at the snap at your own risk, people with a lighter heart are not advised to view this snap. Just pray to GOD and click HERE

Ah, its time to kindle some good old memories and i am going to test mine and request you folks to take this test. I hope this will be fun.

1. The first day to school ?A: I could recollect a bit, not completely though. It was a monday and my Chitappa dropped me at school in his bi-cycle and i was standing at the gate and watched till my chitapa's cycle dissapeared from my sight and moment he went off my sight i started to cry and a gang of aayaa's came to the rescue.

2. Name of my first friend at school ?A: I think it's Jaya (not sure though)

Wowww, what a moment for INDIAN cricket and Sachin Tendulkar, after falling in the 90's for 7 consecutive times, Sachin decided to break that JINX at Syndey and provided all of us a memorable treat with his 38th test ton. There were many changes in his approach this time, he does not look a bit nervous when he was at his 90s and just to make him panic Ricky Ponting brought in his lethal weapon Brett Lee to charge at him, just to accept the fact that the over bowled by Lee found sachin out of sorts (only for that over) and later he regained his senses and blasted a four in the next over of Hogg. It was 94 now and then he nudged off few singles which took him to 96. By then he lost Doni and Anil in quick succession and was joined by Harbajan, at that point in time Sacin does not know that Bhaaji is there to provide a scintilating knock of 63 off just 82 balls. Ricky brought in M. Johnston into the attack and Sachin took another single to take his score to 97, he then face Lee in the next over and took his score to 98. The entire nation plunged into prayers and each and every die hard Indian cricket fan were murmuring their favourite solga and there came that exciting moment where sachin nudged off to a double between covers of Stuart Clarke and entered into his magical figure of 100 after nearly 15 test matches since 2005. It was a moment of mixed emotions for Sachin, he just stood with his hands up in the air and was looking at the sky for more than a minute and then closed his eyes and thanked all his GOD's.

The entire stadium gave that little genius a standing ovation and it took a while for the claps to settle in the auditorium, the entire aussie team congratulated him and it was a moment of pride and glory for India. Sachin took his lead in test tons by 1 and is now standing as the leading centurian in tests with 38 tons in his bucket. I just jumped in joy and screamed a big Yipppppeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Sachin carried on to make an unbeaten 154 while he ran out of partners at the other end. Chk out this exclusive video of that wonderful moment HERE

Its a rainy night and cold breeze is weaving the night to be an absolute romantic one. She is all alone at her place and lying on her bed and suddenly from the dark HE appears and she just could not believe that he is in, immedieately he got on to her bed and started to play his fingers on all over her body, she started to feel the heat and started to sweat but since this being the first time she does not know how to react, so she kept quite and allowed him to roam all over her body and he was quite happy that she didnt react much. She just could not control her senses as he fingers all around her, and for a moment she thought that she is doing some big mistake, but at the same time she told herself that she is not doing something that is against this society and she just couldnt control her feelings, at last she took him on her hands and gave a tight kiss with a big notebook and there died that male cockroach.

This is one scene which i happened to see in my hometown when i was there during new year and this scene really made me to think how blessed we are and we should thank GOD for keeping us at such a good position inspite of the negativities each of us possess, this scene really shook me very badly and made me to think of so many things in life.

An old women who is visibliy deformed and not in a good shape to walk or move, and also an insane was sitting near a bloody stinking garbage area, which you and i could not inhale even for a second, she had lots of bags around her and also had a diary, with some photographs in it, she was constantly talking to herself and it was quite evident that she was hungry, as she was searching for some food inside that garbage. I actually went to a mess which is very close to my street to buy breakfast for my dad, i was asked to wait for 15 minutes till my parcel is ready, in the meantime i happened to listen to what she was talking, i am writing in the way i heard and hence the language will be of a different tone.

"En paiyan tea vaangiyaara ponaan, innum varalayae, naasthaa thunaama vayaru valikudhu, paavam en mavan vera 3 naala naasthaa thunaala, avan vandhaa avanuku teayum bun nu vaangi kudukanum, avan vandhuduvan, inga thaan pooirukuraan, ammaa pasikudhae, en pullaiku tea vaangi kuduka kooda kaasu illa indha paavi kitta, krisnaa, seekaram vaa pa, ammaa unukaaga inganavae kundhikunu keeran, emmaa neram delay pannara nee" now all of a sudden she laughs to herself, takes that dairy out of her bag and looks at a photograph, i too happend to saw that and its a photo of a guy aged 20 to 25 years, i assume that should be her son, she carefuly keeps that diary inside her bag and looks constantly at the street corner, and again started to talk the exact same sentence which you just read without any change, and her actions goes into a loop, this is what she was doing all the time. All of a sudden she started to weep "ammaa romba pasikudhae, en pullaiku pasikumae, vaangi saapada dhuttu illayae indha paavi kitta, nee kavala padaadha kannu, amma engayaachu poi unuku naasthaa suttu ethaaraen" she gets up and stands there for a while and then sits down and started to talk.

Well, for you and i this might just be a pathetic scene, but just put ourself in her shoes, doesn't it sound terrible ? Who knows what kind of a trauma she would have underwent ? What could have pushed her on the roads ? Why is she waiting for a son who is not going to return for ever ? This incident struck a big nail into my head saying, LIFE IS SO UNCERTAIN, then why the hell i am worrying about my hike, my promotion, my bank balance etc etc, afterall it wont take seconds for FATE to push me onto the road, and this same satish who is too choosy on food and who wastes a lot of food and who has a very strict list of favourites which he will eat, can be made to starve for days like this poor old women. May be this is an eye-opener for me to understand life much better and correct myself from the current stand. My heart really goes out for that mother who was worrying about her son's hunger inspite of she starving for days, wowwwwww, MOTHER's are always special, though i was not blessed to be with my mom, i could sense the kind of affection a mom has on her kids.

After seeing all these if i still walk out of that mess with a parcel for my family, GOD will not forgive me, so i ordered 3 plates of IDLY and took that parcel to that mother and gave her that packet, you should have seen the happiness on her face, she literally blessed me that i should live longer, even if i go to 100s of temples i will not get such a blessing, i really felt happy and prayed to GOD that her son should come back to her very soon.

I HAVE TAKEN A VOW THAT I WILL NEVER WASTE FOOD IN MY LIFETIME, I AM HOPING THAT I WILL FOLLOW THIS TILL I DIE.

Ah, my new year has infact started at 12:00 midnight, and to my surprise the first one to wish me on this new year was my best buddy, she messaged me at sharp 00:00, that was the timestamp in my mobile.

I wish all Infosys, TCS, CTS, POLARIS, Accenture employess all the very best to continue there adveturous journey to office on that pathetic road.

I came home by 10:00 from that temple and picked up my phone and wished all my friends, had a good nap in the noon, seekaramae ezhundhadhu naala kannu erichal vera. Chittapa and Chitti were here so general vetti arattai with them. With a very heavy heart, i decided to pack all my things in my bag and get ready to go to bangalore, indha 10 days of leave / working from home has made me go back to my schooling days, where i used to hide inside the bathroom till the rickshaw man goes and come out later, appo thaan i will not be sent to school nu oru nenappu, but my mom used to drag me out and catch the rickshaw wala in the next street and board me onto that.

Well ... ippo kakoos la olinjukara vayasum illa ... size um illa, so i have to go bangalore for sure. I just thot of scribbling these in my blog and put a pullaiyaar suzhi on the new year for my blogging, appo thaanae 2008 la 100 blogs panna mudiyum. Ok guys, gotta leave now ... will continue this blogging from bangalore.

Hmmm, its new year!!! so if i need to put my finger straight on my nose and ask "What did i do to this society in the past 30 years ?" all i can say is "Nothing" but not anymore, i have decided to fight against the smallest of crime in my society, like the following ....
